Stay Updated On What's New In The Puzzle World
Puzzling is like a journey sometimes; one that evolves as time goes on. After years of puzzling, I still find myself learning (through errors mostly) about what I should look for when selecting a puzzle. This made me think about what kind of puzzler I am. I will preface by stating that I am not all of these nor am I always just one of these...CONTINUE READING

My favorite time of year is upon us! The lights, the music, the magic in the air, the beautiful holiday puzzles and of course, let's not forget, my birthday all happen in the magical month of December. Andy Williams wasn’t wrong when he crooned that It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! He felt the magic and joy just as much as I do every single year...CONTINUE READING

When I was 9 years old, we moved away from MA where I was born to CT and left our extended family behind. Because of this, we always drove back to MA to spend Christmas at my aunt’s house. While I loved seeing the family, I hated that my parents made us open our Christmas presents days before at home, so we wouldn’t have to lug all our presents with us. I craved being in our own home on Christmas day with our own traditions. Now that I’m grown up, I’m happily able to do that and am a big fan of holiday traditions! I also delight in learning about how others celebrate and decided to write a blog that touches on traditions from around the world....CONTINUE READING

In just a few short days (indeed the shortest of the whole year), Santa will be preparing to make his rounds. This year, I was fortunate enough to be invited to record a smattering of Santas’ inner (and outer) monologues...CONTINUE READING

Isn’t it jarring how, at some point in late November, the realization suddenly strikes that Christmas is just around the corner? For most of the year, the holidays felt so far behind in the past, and then – BAM – Starbucks’s red holiday cups are here, and CVS pharmacies everywhere are hawking holiday decor. I think a lot of you would agree that the season really feels here once Thanksgiving is behind us and the Macy’s Parade has ushered in holiday music, and, especially for the younger ones among us – Santa Claus....CONTINUE READING

I’ve always enjoyed receiving cards around the holidays and reading up on the activities of my friends and family. Although the practice seems to be getting less common as the years go by, I still have a fondness for the imagery of Christmas cards and of course the seasonal stamps that go with them. Perhaps I’m not alone in this, as holiday stamps are a regular theme in puzzles...CONTINUE READING

It’s that time of year!! The ambassadors do a lot of puzzles and trying to come up with our favorites of the year is tricky. I, myself, have done over 250 puzzles alone just this year, so trying to decide which few are my faves is near impossible. I have about 50 others that stood out to me, and I know I’m not alone when saying, there are so many good puzzle images and brands out there it’s hard to choose favorites. BUT we did come up with our top ones of the year. Here is a list of 20 puzzles, from a bunch of our ambassadors. I hope you find this list helpful and I’d LOVE to know which were some of your favorite puzzles from the year! Let me know in the comments...CONTINUE READING

48% of adults in the US profess to enjoy jigsaw puzzles, while 78% say they read for pleasure. I would love to know what the percentage is that relish both. I’m convinced that the crossover would be high! I myself often listen to an audio book while I puzzle, and when I’m done puzzling at night, I usually read an actual book to lull my wide awake puzzle brain into sleep. The hypnotic effect of my eyes moving back and forth on the page works better than melatonin!...CONTINUE READING

If you love puzzling for the artwork, I need to share with you this hidden gem within Puzzle Warehouse. Goodway Puzzles... you’ve probably seen this brand around on the Puzzle Warehouse website. When I first find a brand I’m interested in, I always do a little research and could never find much about the brand. Many of their images have caught my interest, but to be honest, I didn’t make a purchase until after my conversation with Susan Way. If you're not familiar, Susan is one of the owners of Puzzle Warehouse, and I had the pleasure of meeting her in person at the National Jigsaw Puzzle Championships earlier this year. As a PW ambassador, I was excited to finally meet her, especially after having exchanged emails with her for the past couple of years...CONTINUE READING
